Police are working on many aspects in its effort to untangle the
mystery behind the murder of Malkit Singh Jheeta , the 35 year old
youth who was murdered a few days back. Jheeta was missing since
last Tuesday and hailed from Shahkot village of Jalandhar. His body
was recovered from his new BMW vehicle.
It is learnt
that a kin woman of Jheeta had informed the police and a report was
registered but while the police kept on looking for him, no clue was
available. Later it was found that a BMW parked near his own house
was not searched. On Friday when some of the Jheeta's relatives went
to his house, they saw the blood dripping from the car parked on the
Rocklin Drive. The police have taken the car into its custody.
Union City
Police's representative has said that the body has been recovered
from the car. He did not say Jheeta was murdered with what weapon.
He said any details will be given out only after the preliminary
investigations were over. It is said that after murdering Malkit
with sharp edged weapons, the body was put in the car and the car
shut.
Some more
details have been emerging during this while. He was seen washing
the pick-up at 2 pm
on Saturday. The same day at 8:25 evening, he
spoke to his fiancée Rajni in Jalandhar on the phone. From his
conversation, it was estimated that he was heading towards Stockton.
Rajni said that he had along conversation at the end of which he
said he will call again after two days, a sort of norm for him.
Malkit used to go to Stockton every weekend to meet his son, and he
did not use to call Rajni for these two days.
Of course he
used to call his work colleague every Sunday evening around 9:30 to
talk about Monday's job but this time neither he called, nor did he
pick up the phone. That person on Monday went to Manjit's house
himself to talk about the work but the house was locked. The BMW
was parked on the sidewalk. He noticed that the car was neither
inside nor outside the garage and was instead parked at this queer
place. He did not pay much attention and returned. He also claimed
to have seen a white pick-up making repeated rounds of the place.
Later the police claimed the body from the car. It is said that he
had been shot through the head.
Malkit had come
to the
United States
in 1992 and in a short while had established his business of
millions of dollars in Stockton and Union City . He was the father
of a seven year old son but had divorced from his wife Rajwant Kaur
Panesar some three years earlier. She now lives with her son in
Stockton.
Malkit's brother
Manjit Singh who lives in Spain has told on phone that they got the
news about death of Malkit on Friday. His father Balbir Singh said
that Malkit had returned to the US only 15 days earlier from India.
